A week before the film premiered, 20/20 showcased this segment on the making of Batman. All the usual news bits are here- comparisons to the Adam West show, the offbeat choice of director, and the worries of the fan community due to Keaton's casting. Enjoy!

For anyone that owned a VHS copy of Batman, you may remember an advertisement featuring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck that preceded the film. In the ad, Bugs and Daffy argued back and forth about watching the film without first ordering merchandise from the Warner Bros catalog (spoiler warning- Bugs came out on top). If you ever wondered what that catalog looked like, well this post is for you! Pictured here is all the Bat-merchandise featured in the 1989 Warner Bros Holiday Catalog. Enjoy!

A site dedicated to the 1989 Batman film and its sequel Batman Returns! Here you'll find loads of content related to the movies: Old magazine articles, video segments, vintage newspaper clippings, and a large focus on movie merchandise (especially the Kenner toy lines). All the views and opinions expressed on this site are mine and should not be viewed as being shared by any of the companies and parties responsible for the film.
